Description
The FFmpeg wiki entry on Slideshow has a section at wiki:Slideshow#Concatdemuxer on using the concat demuxer to create a video from a series of images with custom duration assigned to each image. However, FFmpeg does not produce a video of the requested total duration.
How to reproduce:
- Create still images:
ffmpeg -f lavfi -i color -vframes 1 black.png ffmpeg -f lavfi -i color=white -vframes 1 white.png
- Create concat list as shown in Wiki
file black.png duration 6 file white.png duration 2
- Run the concat

- Check output duration
ffprobe result.mp4 -show_entries format=duration -v 0 [FORMAT] duration=6.040000 [/FORMAT]
Trying to work around this, by duplicating the last image entry (with or without duration directive) also produces unexpected output.

- Check duration
ffprobe result2.mp4 -show_entries format=duration -v 0 [FORMAT] duration=9.960000 [/FORMAT]
This time, the duration is greater (9.96 sec) than it should be (9 sec)
Behaviour originally reported at http://video.stackexchange.com/q/20588/1871
Personally, I believe all the direction durative does is it alters the offset applied to the starting timestamp of successive files in the concat list and not enforce a duration per se. So, that explains to me the issue with the first concat run, but not the second.

Ok, but then shouldn't the 2nd concat produce a duration of 8.04s. In any case, how should the wiki section be corrected?
comment:3 by , 8 years ago
The incorrect duration in the second case goes away with Matroska output; it seems an artifact of the MP4 format or muxer. It is unrelated to concat, as it produces the same result when converting from the correct Matroska file obtained earlier.
To get things working, you need to have the duration of the last image be a single frame for your chosen frame rate. Since you did not specify anything, that means 25 FPS, so the last segment need to be duration 0.04.

Does not work with MP4. Works without duration for MKV. Remuxing MKV to MP4 collapses video to n frames where n is number of entries. Producing MKV with -vsync cfr produces same result as MP4 (9.96 sec). Producing MP4 with -vsync vfr produces same result (8.04 sec) as MKV with no vsync option applied.

Replying to mulvya:
Producing MP4 with -vsync vfr produces same result (8.04 sec) as MKV with no vsync option applied.
But no valid output file.
comment:6 by , 8 years ago
MP4 plays fine in Potplayer and ffplay. Duration is shown as 8 and black turns to white at 6s. ffplay with autoexit exits at 8s. Does not play in VLC, though.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
ffmpegdoes not preserve the duration of the last frame, this is known issue and already reported in several tickets here.
